Manara: ‘I will resign from Simba SC post if Yanga SC beat us in Cup final’

The outspoken official says he will quit his job if the Jangwani giants defeat the Msimbazi giants in the final of the domestic cup

Simba SC official Haji Manara has sensationally claimed he will resign from his post if Yanga SC beat them in the final of the FA Cup on July 25.

The two Tanzanian giants will meet again in another Kariakoo derby to decide to take home the domestic cup trophy and the game will come after Yanga took the bragging rights in the league after beating Simba 1-0 on Saturday.

The game played at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium and watched by over 30, 000 fans including Tanzania President Samia Suluhu Hassan, saw Yanga score their lone goal in the first half through Zawadi Mauya to take home maximum points and deny their rivals a fourth straight Mainland Premier League title.
